Hi.

I'm sorry if there's a thread about this already..

But I'm just wondering if there are any piano or keyboard players out there who could help me.. I can read music and play like the melodies of songs and I can play with two hands like for example Für Elise.. But what I don't understand is how you play the chords.. like C Am G etc.. You don't just hold them down do you? because that's sounds dull..

So if anyone knows and which to help a poor soul.. please :)

Actually I was wondering that too. But if you know how to play all of the cool stuff, why don't you know what chords are?

I don't know.. I've never been taught how to.. Learning to play like fur elise was simple because it was just two lines of notes.. But when they start writing letters like that I know how to hold some of them but I just don't know how to play them out if you know what I mean..

While playing the chord just kind of move your fingers around, like your playing an arpegio of that chord. Kust experiment with different ways of playing.

key thanks.. Do you play the melody with your right hand or?

Yes. You play melody with right, bass with left.

alright :) thanks for your help guys.. Now I'll have to play later tonight !
